frustrated

One of my gymnasts is becoming increasingly frustrated on bars - she has been part of our squad since she was 6 - she was 8 this year and moved into my group in Feb. Since she has been with me she has improved on all events except Bars. Although she is talented, she seems to have hit a plateau...

Hey guys SO yesterday my coach decided that it would be a good idea to help me get over my fear of handstand forward rolls:o (i was always scared i would snap my neck or something =P) but he noticed that when i would roll, i wouldnt hollow out...like my back wouldnt curve in... SO he told me...

Yesterday we went to open gym at my daughters current gym. She loves open gym. She really wanted to work on her front hip circle and kip but everytime she would approach the bars where a coach was helping someone else the coach would turn around and leave or move to a different set of bars...

I am new to this site. I have a level 6 gymnast and she is becoming frustrated with one of her coaches that is yelling at her. I am not sure how to handle it.:(

The lack of innovation in Women's Artistic Gymnastics is frustrating to me. The same elements have been used for over 20 years now, with the exception of a few (very few) elements that are original. Watching competitions, especially on TV, I can tell what a female gymnast is going to perform...

I was just wondering how many of you go through the same thing when trying to get a new skill. It seems like I can pick up a new skill without too much difficulty at first. I seem to get better each time and then suddenly I do it perfectly a couple times and then the frustration begins. I don't...

I have recently been working with a group of level fours( welll training fours) They are all missing atleast one or two skills and will not be FOurs untill they get all their skills. Here is my problem they seem to not be making changes when told... we can work on one skil For example levering...

As most of the regulars know, my almost 6 yo DD moved to team in April. She has been doing 2 practices a week (6.5 hours) and always seems to be happy when there. She had also been doing 1 day a week with her preteam class because they were practicing for their show. Tonight she asked me...

I really need to vent. My dd's gym is having some major problems right now. Her gym is very small - really great coaches but the owner is an idiot who has absolutely no business sense whatsoever. Anyway - there are serious rumors floating around that the gym is going to have to close - the...

DD is VERY frustrated because she just cannot get her front mill circle. She makes it all the way around then bends that front leg and drops back. She said she is afraid she is going to fall. She said it makes her feel like she wants to quit. I asked if she really wanted to quit over the...

I'm really just venting and wondering if I am wrong for being mad! Here's what happened at the gym last night. First, let me explain that on Monday when the dr. released dd to go back to the gym, I talked to the coach and told him that the dr. said to ease back into it, but if her knee didn't...
